Nev kississippian: We have never
noticed the little daily organ, Of crime
and criminals, in Jackson, except to
refer to the proposed indignation
meeting and to chow who really
edits 1t.
As the paper has been constantly
filed with false, dark and cowsrdly
inuendoes aimed ut the writer's FAM
lily and at his murdered friend day
after day aud week after week, We
have been asked why II was that We
paid no heed to he slanderous trash
Of the paper endssvoripg to wreak it,
vengeance upon us by falsehood,, and
therefore, in explanation, We shall
publicly notice Mr.. Lowd just once
for all.
Among the many things that pre-
vent us from entering into any argu-
ment with him, and also prevent any
filings Of his from injuriDg the party be
attacks, Is the fact that he is known
throughout Jackson by common and
uncontradicted report, ss q thief, and
this report and reputation oil lis is
based upon the best Of grounds.
He is q notorious blackleg and habi'
tue Of the lowest dives. He is now
prostitutipg his soul and his paper by
Publishing, for pay, the mos. infa-
nous lies about the living and the
dead.
He manifests his utter and Infinite
baseness and cowardice by sending
out the yilest ISLANDERS against Rlder-
lex Gambrell, over the new made
grave OF that gallant boy; when In life
this pitiful worm OF the Adprtiser
dared not even criticlse him harshly,
and his ISLANDERS now cannot hurt the
memory a the brave and stainless
boy whose srms.sre now folded forever
over his quiet breast.
The man, W. O. Lowd, who claims
to be the responsible editor OF the
Adpertiser, was the blacklist and lowest
Of all the Republican thieves v no, Ia
a carnival Of rottepnees and jubilee
OF defilement years ago, pieyed upon
Mississippi In the days Of negro gu.
premacy. And from those days when
he was The companion and bro. her OF
all that carrion crowd he has steadily
sunk in abandonment aud sharne,
until at last, for psltry pay, hs has
become the hired slRndeIer Of the
dad, in the interest md employ ment
Of sssstsins.
This lie not made as an attack upon
Mr.. Lowd, for We pity that miserable
wretch, who Is too worthless or 30 Inn
beetle 10 earn his bread except by
stealing, OF acting as tue sbjsct tool Ct
criminals, who have purchased him
body and soul and sre using him for
the bssest purposes.
We simply want the public 10 know
why we noticed the paper edited by
this groveling gamblers pimp, deoased
by blood and associations, common
thief, with q purchased pen, and har
lot heart, lower and more degraded
than the bssest, illegiiimate, currist
felon, assisted by bis son II. ID. Lowd
who IL simply his fathers moral equa
and partner In the infamous work.
Mr.. Low d knows who Is the reepon
sible editor Of this paper, and he car
meet this article like brave man, Of
, he can meet II by sinking hons like
q pneaking cur, and writing what othel
ISLANDERS his masters may order. Al al
events, while we a'e willing 10 show
10 any one the circumstances anC
proofs upon which we call him pub
lie thief, we propose TO notice hin
publicly no more.
NoTK.-In order that the editors o
the Adpertiser might have an opportu
nifty Of getting satisfaction peace OH
GERS interfered. the responsible edito
OF this paper, several hours before thu
Nev hissisippian was Issued, took
proof OF the ABOVE article down b th
ldteriisr Office and showed II 10 bot
the Lowds, in the presence OF q viii
ness, and offered 10 step out in IN
street at once and shoot II out befor
any peace officer could hear OF the al
!. ticie. The Lowds took the article an
went back in their tiiice, leaving U
without auy answer.
